Customers praised the lightweight, comfortable frames with thin temples that work excellently under headsets and helmets. "Best glasses I've ever purchased," many noted. The UV protection and optical quality received high marks. However, some concerns about durability, fit consistency, and limited style/color options were mentioned.

Took three tries to get it right. From the wrong color frame to poor lense quality, it took about 2 months to get it right. After only 3 wears, the lense tint on the INSIDE of the glasses has peeled/delaminated. I do not recommend these, especially for the high price. I’m a commercial rated pilot and was looking forward to these, but I’m very disappointed.
I highly recommend any Flying Eyes Optics sunglasses. I am on my third pair now that's how much I love them. The sunglasses do a wonderful job of keeping UV rays out of the eyes while the frames are thin enough they do not interfere with noise canceling headset ear seals. I highly recommend these sunglasses to any pilot looking for a good pair of sunglasses.
Saved me from constant headaches as a CFII. Wish I bought them I the beginning of my training!
Love the frames, pretty much indestructible. Would definitely buy again.
Fantastic sunglasses! The optical quality is fantastic and they are super light and comfortable.
I love those shades for the light weight, thin branches, and they fit me perfectly.
I recommend for people who have small face.
I love flying eye already because of how light they are and how well they fit in my helmets. These are particularly nice because I can wear them and a ball cap and they don’t interfere. Both my helmets are size small and these frames work really well on my head.
The pair I purchased doesn't fit the same as the pair that was in the try-on kit and is less comfortable. Overall they still work a lot better under my motorcycle helmet than my other glasses.
I've had my Flying Eyes for only a few days, so my comments are somewhat preliminary. Comfort is good, but have yet to wear them under hearing protection or headsets, which is my main reason for buying them. They are very lightweight, which is great, but does raise questions about their ruggedness and longevity. The small selection of styles, along with minuscule color choices is a big negative. Hopefully this will improve as the company grows.
I am a professional race car driver and I was looking for a comfortable and resistant frame to use it with my helmet and I finally found the Flying Eyes Otus that fits perfectly.
I loved it so much that I told my co-driver and another driver to buy iy and they did. They also loved it.
Otus
These fit better under a headset than any other glasses I’ve ever tried. Two complaints- the frames have a sharp edges on the nose bridge that digs into my nose and the magnetic clip on sunglasses do not have an anti reflective coating so when you put them on you see too much of your own face
I would have given this 5 stars, but alas I had to go with 4 simply because they tend to fall off my face if I bend over and sometimes they don’t like to sit square on my face. The overall fit is great but I think it’s due to the bendy nature of the frames that causes it to be able to bend side to side and not sit square all the time, as well as not hang on to my head when bending over.
The frames, along with clip-ons and soft case, were received quicker than expected (from USA to UK) and were well packaged and protected.
The Otus frame is superb - I can't wait to get my prescription lenses made and fitted so I can enjoy wearing them.
I recently ordered the Otus prescription glasses and sunglass clip. I can tell you these are probably the best glasses I’ve ever purchased. They are very light and comfortable and don’t slide down the nose like typical glasses. Would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a great pair.
The materials that the glasses are made of seem to lack durability. I am worried that these glasses won’t last very long. I hope I am wrong. I like the concept and will give them a shot.
What a great product! No more discomfort or distorted vision while wearing my motorcycle helmet. Perfect fit.
Outside of the motorcycle helmet these are the most comfortable frames I've ever worn. Inside the helmet, they are a game changer. Love the simple classic styles, none of the fast-fashion bull***t that is my eye doctor's frame selection. Plus, the clip-on sunglasses are pure genius. Even on close inspection they don't look like clip-ons. I've been wearing glasses for almost 40 years, these are the best frames I've ever had, by a long shot.
These glasses are perfect for wearing a helmet for hours. They are thin so there’s no pain from the earpieces like other glasses. I like the fit of the glasses and wear them as my everyday glasses.
I haven't worn sunglasses for many years because they all give me a headache. (Bad for the eyes, I know. ) I purchased my FlyingEyes at EAA and wore them all day. NO headache! I've worn them daily in the car and while flying. Can barely tell I have them on under headset. Very happy with my purchase. And shout out to Aviation101 and Highmaintenance_chels for the discount code.
Super light with highest quality. Every characteristic tweaked to perfection.
Very light. Just perfect.
Great product. Not super rubbery like I anticipated. Fits well under my headsets, motorcycle helmet and Oculus.
